I am using a build by my own pre and turntable. Turntable platter and bearing is from Thorens, motor is DC brushless outboard beltdriven, arm is SME 3009 II. The phono pre is tube based on 12AX7 first tube and 12AT7 second. Step up is tube also 12AX7. I am really happy with the pre. It has also impedance match for different setups. I like the detailed, not clinical liquid sound of Benz. I was also thinking about Shelter as an option, but never compared both. What do you think about Shelter as a cartridge? Thanks a lot! Vlad
